Purpose

This document includes instructions on how to increase the deployment timeout for offline hosted virtual machines. Performing the steps in this document will be required when a deployment to an offline hosted virtual machine requires more than 120 minutes to complete. The typical cause would include a deployment of a large number of patches to a single machine.

Symptoms

You will see the following error message in the Deployment Tracker approximately 2 hours into the deployment process.

A subsequent scan of the target offline hosted virtual machine will show fewer patches missing indicating some of the patches installed within that 120 time-frame.

Resolution

Manually increase the deployment timeout by editing the STEnvironment.config.
